Roman Reigns: Who could be the face of WWE during RAW megastar's absence?

BRAUN STROWMAN may be on his way to becoming the company’s biggest superstar during Roman Reigns’ absence.

Reigns has been considered as the WWE’s top guy ever since 2015 as he has won four world championships, headlined four consecutive WrestleManias and beat some of the all-time greats, like John Cena, The Undertaker and Brock Lesnar.

However, The Big Dog stunned the WWE Universe last month when he revealed he was diagnosed with leukaemia for the second time and relinquished the Universal Championship in order to go home for treatment.

The ex-WWE Champion left a big void behind him that will have to be filled during his absence.

According to Ringside News, the publisher and editor of the Wrestling Observer Newsletter Dave Meltzer sees Strowman as the most likely candidate to fill in that role.

However, Meltzer notices some limitations within The Monster Among Men and feels like WWE are “not going all the way with him”.

The prominent wrestling reporter also names Intercontinental Champion Seth Rollins and Drew McIntyre as other likely contenders that could carry the company.

He said: “I get the feeling from watching that Braun Strowman’s going to be a top guy but they’re not going all the way with him because it felt like he’s getting a championship match before WrestleMania based on the way that deal went down.

“Well, he could win the championship I suppose easily but that, I guess he could win the championship and be the guy but it didn’t feel like he was the guy to me for long-term. I just felt too much one dimensional.

“They really don’t have a whole lot of choices. It really comes down to Strowman, Rollins, and McIntyre are your three choices.

“Rollins is already pretty complete but I still think they want a bigger guy in that spot.

“McIntyre comes closest, you know Strowman could be but he has so many limitations.

“I really sensed a more and more direct focus on McIntyre so we’ll have to see the way it shakes out.”
